John Jaso resting pesky leg
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(2:43 pm ET) Athletics catcher John Jaso, who returned from his leg injury Saturday with two strikeouts, was not in the lineup Sunday against the Royals, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. 

Jaso's right leg is still bothering him slightly. He's considered day to day and is available to pinch-hit for the A's. 


Padres usually win when Eric Stults on hill
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(2:42 pm ET) Padres starting pitcher Eric Stults improved to 2-1 with a 2.39 ERA in four May starts after Saturday's 2-1 win against the Nationals. The Padres are 6-3 when Stults has started this season and 16-7 since he joined the team last season.

Everth Cabrera leading majors in stolen bases
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(2:40 pm ET) Padres shortstop Everth Cabrera enters play Sunday against the Nationals with a stolen base in four straight games. It ties the longest streak of his career, which he first accomplished July 23-26, 2009.

Cabrera, who leads the majors with 15 steals, is batting .364 (8 for 22) with two runs, three walks, four RBI and four stolen bases in his last five games. 


Homestand could be remedy for Ike Davis
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(2:35 pm ET) Mets first baseman Ike Davis received a day off Sunday against the Cubs with left-handed pitcher Travis Wood on the hill. Davis entered play Sunday mired in a 1-for-30 slump (.033) in his last eight games.

Manager Terry Collins said Davis will be back in the lineup Monday against the Reds, when the team kicks off an eight-game homestand.

"With Cincinnati coming in and with three right-handers again it’s another chance where he can get home and get comfortable," Collins said, per the New York Daily News. "He feels good in Citi Field. It’s so important, he is such a big part of our lineup, we gotta get him going."


Injury ends Carlos Ruiz's hitting streak
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(2:27 pm ET) Phillies catcher Carlos Ruiz left Sunday's game against the Reds because of a right hamstring strain. Ruiz was hurt running the bases in the second inning and was replaced by Erik Kratz in the third inning.

Ruiz, who was 0 for 1, saw his hitting streak end at nine games Sunday. He hit .333 (10 for 30) with a double, two RBI, two walks and three runs during the streak.


Stephen Drew plans to return soon
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(2:25 pm ET) Red Sox shortstop Stephen Drew, who was not starting Sunday against the Twins, plans to return to the lineup shortly, WEEI.com reports. He believes he'll be over his back issue in the coming days. 

"I hope so. I don’t plan on sitting out much longer," said Drew when asked if believed a return was imminent. "I know I needed that day [Saturday], and then we have the quick turnaround [Sunday afternoon]. Give it one more day and hopefully it kind of settles down and we get back after it."

The shortstop is hitting .321 in May with a .969 OPS. He's being replaced at short and in the lineup by Pedro Ciriaco. 


Rangers send for Jurickson Profar
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(2:20 pm ET) The Rangers have summoned top prospect Jurickson Profar to Arlington for Sunday's game against the Tigers, ESPN reports. Profar has not yet been recalled officially, however. 

Profar is in Arlington in case the Rangers decide to make a move and he is needed. One of baseball's top prospects, Profar is batting .278 for Triple-A Round Rock in 144 at-bats with four homers, 19 RBI and six steals. 


Is it about to be 'Miggy Time' for struggling catcher?
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(2:14 pm ET) Diamondbacks catcher Miguel Montero continues to search for different methods to break out of his season-long slump, according to MLB.com. On Saturday, Montero tried positive self-talk and was telling everyone it was about to be "Miggy Time."

Unfortunately, Montero had just a single in Saturday's game against the Marlins and is batting .184 on the season.

"He's been battling," manager Kirk Gibson said. "We're going to get him going, he's going to get it going. You start to analyze things, you pretty much cover it A to Z and it gets tough. You have to go up there and not be over-thinking the situation. If you do, it makes it tough, you analyze things you don't need to analyze."


Dee Gordon lectured after botched steal attempt
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(2:07 pm ET) Dodgers shortstop Dee Gordon was thrown out in the third inning Saturday against the Braves tying to steal third base with two outs and Matt Kemp at the plate. Not only did manager Don Mattingly and baserunning coach Davey Lopes chime in, but Gordon's father -- former All-Star closer Tom Gordon -- talked with Dee about his baserunning error, according to MLB.com.

"Don't steal third," Dee Gordon repeated, "unless you know you'll be safe. I felt it was 100 percent, but I got thrown out."

Mattingly was still annoyed Sunday morning.

"The first year he was here, you want to be patient with him and you're always teaching, but yesterday, we've been there before, and I told him when he got to the dugout that you can't run there unless you're 100 percent," Mattingly said. "There's no real upside to stealing the base. Only an infield hit or a passed ball. It doesn't make any sense to me. It's just a mistake you really can't make. I don't want to come down on Dee. He's trying. But it's just not the right time to steal a base. It's a useless base."


Ian Desmond finally gets a breather
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(2:00 pm ET) After starting the first 43 games, Nationals shortstop Ian Desmond finally received a breather Sunday at San Diego, replaced in the starting lineup by Danny Espinosa. Since homering in back-to-back games May 10-11, Desmond is in a 2-for-24 slump (.083) in his last seven games.

Desmond's batting average has declined from .300 to .268.
